  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
the North Augusta High School girls' and boys' basketball teams, ``The 
Jackets,'' as they both claimed the state title in the 2026 Class 4A 
South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) Basketball State 
Championship. This marks the first dual championship in program 
history.
  On March 7, 2026, the girls' team defeated Westside High School, 
winning 63-50, while the boys' team battled South Pointe High School in 
a thrilling double-overtime game, securing the state title with a 64-56 
victory.
  The North Augusta girls' basketball team includes players Krislyn 
Johnson, Scout Lorier, Ki'Mariya Lee, Jade Council, Taylor Boney, 
Messiah Williams, Kenedi Wright, Traeona Davis, Tahj Flowers, Dynasia 
Hill, A'Myah Williams, Celena Grant, Azaria Sapp, Ashley Walker, and 
Skylar Parker. Alongside the players are their talented coaches Al 
Young, Aaliyah Bell, and Michael Hawkes, as well as Statistician, 
Janice Miriam.
  The North Augusta men's basketball team includes players Dez Davis, 
Jordan Rouse, Toian Nabriat, Zay Harris, Tristan Anderson, Quh'Mareon 
Webb, DJ Johnson, Tre Wright, London Dunn, Alex Evans, Ky'Dre Wright, 
Tyler Collins, and Rayan Bahria. Alongside the players is their 
talented coach, Tony Harrell.
  On behalf of all South Carolina, I congratulate the North Augusta 
High Jackets on this impressive achievement and wish both teams the 
best of luck as they defend their titles in the upcoming season. These 
victories are well-deserved for the teams, coaches, families, and 
community for all their hard work and support, making their dreams come 
true.
